(KNZA)--The remaining funds from a bond issue approved by Hiawatha USD 415 voters in 2015 will be utilized for the replacement of the interior doors at the high school.

The Board of Education Monday evening accepted the low bid submitted by Overhead Door Company, of Topeka, in the amount of $216,251 for the project.

It was among two bids received.

In other business, District Maintenance Coordinator Matt Cluck went over the bids received for the replacement of the high school track. The bids included various options.

The Board tabled action until next month’s meeting, saying they wanted more information before making a decision. Two of the companies that submitted bids will be asked to make presentations at next month’s meeting.

The Board approved the funding of extra coaching positions at the high school and middle school as presented by the building’s athletic directors along with providing extra funding for the Science Olympiad program.
